Lions Could Lean On Adrian Peterson In Week 1

Newly-added Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson could see a sizable workload in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. Fellow running backs D'Andre Swift (leg) and Kerryon Johnson (knee) have been limited in practice and the team might be cautious with them to start the year. Peterson told the Detroit Free Press this week, “They’re […]

Qadree Ollison Inactive In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. Brian Hill and Ito Smith will be the team's backups to No. 1 running back Todd Gurley for the game. Hill and Smith likely won't see more than about four or five touches each at most and have […]

Devin Duvernay And James Proche II Could Return Kicks Today

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receivers Devin Duvernay and James Proche II appear to be likely candidates to field kick returns for the team today against the Cleveland Browns. Justice Hill (thigh) and Chris Moore (finger) are both ruled out for the game, giving Duvernay and Proche a more clear path to kick return duties. Duvernay, […]

Aaron Judge Expected To Join Alternate Site On Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) is working out at Yankee Stadium on Sunday and should head to the team’s alternate site on Monday to start getting at-bats in. Manager Aaron Boone remains optimistic that Judge will rejoin the major league lineup before the end of the regular season, but his best-case-scenario seems to […]

Brandon Aiyuk Looking Unlikely For Week 1

It's seeming less and less likely that rookie San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) will make his NFL debut this week. Aiyuk was limited in practices to close out the week and the team is likely to be cautious with him. Even if he's active for the game, he most likely wouldn't be […]

Gio Urshela Hitting At Alternate Site

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) is hitting at the team’s alternate site on Sunday, keeping him in line to rejoin the major league lineup as soon as he’s eligible on Tuesday. With outfielder and DH Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) also likely to return sometime this week or early next week, the Yankees are […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones Inactive In Week 1

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones is a healthy inactive in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. People-Jones was a sixth round pick of the team this summer and he has a chance to contribute as both a receiver and kick returner this year. This week, however, he'll be on the sidelines. Odell Beckham […]

Giancarlo Stanton Hitting At Alternate Site

New York Yankees outfielder and DH Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) took at-bats at the team’s alternate site on Sunday and appears likely to return by the beginning of next week as a result. Manager Aaron Boone was optimistic that Stanton would return to the team soon, and his latest update has Stanton on track to return […]

Riley Ridley Inactive In Week 1

Chicago Bears wide receiver Riley Ridley is a healthy inactive for the team's Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions. Ridley was a fourth round pick of the team in 2019 and had a disappointing rookie year with just six catches for 69 yards. Rookie fifth rounder Darnell Mooney and third year receiver Javon Wims […]

Chris Hogan Active In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Chris Hogan is active for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Hogan figures to be the team's No. 2 receiver to open the year beside No. 1 receiver Breshad Perriman and slot receiver Jamison Crowder. Rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) could eventually emerge for the team, but he […]

Zach Plesac Struggles In Loss

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac (3-2) allowed five earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five across seven innings to take the loss Saturday against the Twins. Although he took the loss he continues to show he can work deep into games as he has completed at least six frames […]

Jose Ramirez Connects For 11th Home Run

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Twins. Ramirez took Rich Hill yard in the fourth inning to record his 11th home run of the season. After missing one game with a hand injury Thursday, Ramirez has […]

Bryce Love Inactive For Washington In Week 1

The Washington Football Team running back Bryce Love is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team will go with rookie Antonio Gibson and veterans J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber as their only running backs. Gibson was projected to lead the backfield in touches this week even before this news came […]

Josh Hader Implodes In Second Blown Save

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader gave up four runs on four hits and zero walks while striking out one Saturday against the Cubs. He recorded his second loss and second blown save of the season. Hader entered the game in the top of the ninth inning with the Brewers up 2-0 and eventually served up […]

DeeJay Dallas, Phillip Dorsett II Inactive In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Falcons, while wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) won't play either. Neither player was expected to be a fantasy option this week, so in the short term, these decisions don't mean much. But Dallas being inactive does suggest he's not […]

Dede Westbrook Is Inactive In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. That's...not good news for fantasy managers who have Westbrook rostered, as it means that rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. and veteran Keelan Cole have both moved ahead of him on the team's depth chart. If you have time this […]

N'Keal Harry Active, Jarrett Stidham Inactive

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry is officially active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Harry should serve as the primary outside receiver for new quarterback Cam Newton, though the receiving corps in New England is hard to figure out right now, making Harry no more than a deep league option this week. […]

T.J. Yeldon Among Bills Inactives

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon and quarterback Jake Fromm headline the team's inactive list for Week 1 against the Bills. Yeldon had promise when he first arrived in Buffalo, but has struggled to find a role with this team. Taiwan Jones will be the third active back behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss, but […]

Kenny Golladay Inactive In Week 1

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is officially inactive for Detroit's Week 1 meeting with the Chicago Bears. No surprises here, as fantasy managers should have been planning all week to be without Golladay, but if you still have him in your lineup, you need to make sure you slide someone else into that slot. […]

Tevin Coleman's Week 1 Status Uncertain

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has yet to decide if he'll play in Week 1's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. There's concern over Coleman's pre-existing health condition and the potential air quality issues in the Bay Area caused by nearby fires. That uncertainty coupled with that game taking place in the afternoon slate […]

Nick Madrigal Sitting On Sunday

Mendick will bat eighth […]

Luis Robert Resting On Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert will get a rare day off on Sunday versus the Tigers. Robert has been in a bit of slump recently with just four hits in his last 25 at-bats. Jarrod Dyson will replace Robert and bat ninth. He can be avoided in all formats. Robert remains one of the […]

Jordan Montgomery Picks Up Career-High Nine Strikeouts

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery held the Orioles to one run (zero earned) over 5.2 innings with a career-high nine strikeouts on Saturday. Montgomery was really firing on all cylinders on Saturday, generating 15 swinging strikes over 72 pitches (21% swinging-strike rate) and allowing only two hard-hit balls.
